"Commercial and industrial cooling and heating applications in particular require a lot of energy and therefore cause considerable CO2 emissions. This innovative solution in the form of a heat transfer fluid can be retrofitted to existing systems, saves costs and demonstrably reduces energy consumption." - Official Jury Statement

Maxwell is an innovative heat transfer fluid additive that provides higher thermal capacity for water or water-glycol based HVAC systems. Improved fluid properties in cooling or heating systems are key to reducing energy use. HT Materials Science is in the vanguard to deliver the promise of nanofluid additives with the release of Maxwell.
